There not too expensive but I couldn't afford to run one as a daily. Would love to see Jag bring back some of these classic lines. But saying that a Jag reproduction might be as unreliable as the original... I liked those too, almost purchased one but parts are scarce these days. Decent cars 4 inch thick metal! Ended up with a Rover P5 instead . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know many people who would call Aventadors and Diablos tame, what do you think is as extreme in its styling as a Countach then?

Not really, if you look at most of the cars mentioned here theres isnt any modern equivalent - Pulsar GTiR, RX7, 200SX, Mini, Copen, AC Cobra, R5 GTT. When Lamborghini still make an overly large mid engined V12 with scissors doors, mad styling and interior, little to no focus on laptimes for more money than normal people can afford Id argue theres no need to bring back the original. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT350 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 McLaren F1. Again, a cheeky breeki, normally aspirated Merc V12 delivering a no compromise, all expenses paid, peak of normally aspirated know how (798bhp in the peak Pagani). Latest lightweight goodies. Central driving position. Yet somehow gentle, docile, civilised. A saville row suit that morphs into a 90s shell suit when you disprobe the powerplant. And a Facom toolkit. Jaguar XJ220. Ford GT90. Honda CRX. Ford Escort RS Turbo. Renault 5 Turbo. One car Lancia recently brought back was amazing. The Stratos. It was just everything I'd want a new stratos to have been. Realistically, I'd say the CRX would do best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran O'Quick Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Chatted recently to a bloke with a Listerbell Stratos. The car is perfection. So clean, better than the original... And quick even by modern standards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 CRZ is the modern day CRX.

Doesn't really have any of the ingredients that made the CRX what it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the original CRX had so much more performance. A kurb weight of 872KG and 158bhp. I briefly had one when I was younger, with just a K&N 57i. The induction noise was fantastic. CRZ is 50bhp down and 430kg heavier. I know cars now have to be bigger, heavier and softer on the whole, due to safety.

galaxyg Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 For my tastes I'd bring back:- 1) Honda Integra, 2) Any of the good Lancias. Before Lancia dies 100%. 3) Nissan Silvia 4) Honda Prelude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember buying a 309 GTi for £650 back in the late 90`s (I guess) and fixing it up. I never liked it, preferred the 205 1.9 Gti id done up before it. But my brother loved it and he had loads of fun in it for 6 months or so before I sold it for £1200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
